full friends who realize our needs. But
we require many more. We desire to
give out our UNCONVENTIONAL papers at
every "diet of worship" and they are
eagerly taken up by all who come to us,
both opponents and friends, for the
Scotch are great readers, and the spirit of
inquiry is now thoroughly aroused in this
"auld countrie." So, my dear friends, will
not those of you who are not as yet send
ing to any other mission station, will you
not kindly remember our pressing neces-
stiles? There is not Univerealiet paper
to be bought in Scotland. I need hun
dreds to give away at the door of our
church, to send to clergymen, to editors,
and to the public generally. Rest assured
you will do good work for our dear Faith
il you send your papers to Scotland,
for these little black missionaries go
where the white ones cannot, and they are
wonderful teachers and preachers also.
And while I am begging" want to
ask for some books for our church libra
ry. We have some, but not enough. We
need some of the old-fashioned Univers-
alist books, as we'll as the later ones. And
we need memoirs of the faithful workers
who have passed away. Will you not
ranaack your library shelves and see what
you can spare. Some friend in Illinois
lately sent over two valuable additions to
our library, and I sincerely thank him or
her. An American Universalist book
cannot be bought in Scotland. Kindly
remember our needs, dear friends, and
thus help me to preach the "full Gospel"

magnifcently thus far should continue as
they had begun. The unpaid expenses
for repairs amounted to $1,000. The la
dies of the society had raised 800, and
he thought there could be no better way
to celebrate the Fourth of July than to
raise this parish debt. In response, after
over an hour and half had expired, it
was found that the necessary 81 200 was
secured. 1t was unanimously voted a
good evenings work.
The congregation was large, members
Of the churches of the West and South
sides being in attendance The Wo-
mans Association, of Illinois gave 800
toward the debt. Members of the Church
OF the Redeemer, and of st. Pauls, con-
tributed literally; and, while the new
society is small, it was not found back
ward. A fine silver communion service
was presented by the Young Ladies' Lit
erary and Social Union, and the pulpit
furniture was also gift.
The dedicatory prayer was offered by
Rev. J. @. Adams, and after the hymn,
the benediction was pronounced by the
pastor, Rev. @. s. Nickerson.

ing in these principles that so sustained
him, and developed the Christ charac-
ter in his being, will also sustain us
and develop Christliness in us, to the
full extent of the degree in which these
principles constitute with us also the
circulating and upbuilding force for
the natural effect of these principles is
to purge away sin through the growth
of sound moral affection, just as the
literal blood, when pure, purges away
the poison of disease. The element of
spirituality in us is the Christ element;
and this is the element of sonship to
God. When conscious of this our sub
lime relation to God, we become christly
in character, and know ourselves to be
sons and daughters of God, in deed and
in truth.
Then, we live in the divine; we are
nourished by the divine truth, and the
divine spirit, and we see that Christ is
in us; our being is all the while be-
coming separated from sin, and will
continue thus till we are cleansed from
all sin. JIM.

THE INTERNATIONAL LESSONS.

BRIDGEwATER, Iowa, JUNE 28, 1887.
To the Editor of The UniUersaIist:
Your view of the International Sunday
school Lessons, as set forth in The UNI
vERsALIsT of June Is, comedies exactly
with my own on the subject. They are
not only studied by one whose faith has
the same ground work as your own, but
by many who read our papers after am
through with them. Yea, even in our
Union Sundsy-school assemblies do I
read our views aloud to the Bible class
OF which [ am memb Der here. Those
who would have you exchange for some
other portion of Scripture do not realize
the situation; we have a far greater
chance to expound to the world our
views by keeping alongside of them with
the lessons. 1t is only to crafty little
"pride" that the argument is brought
forth to discontinue them.
No, do no such thingl The age is call
ing for more light. Those who are search
ing the Scriptures in a right spirit find
are ever ready to ask, what is your view
OF the subject before us? What do Uni
versalists believe as regards this or that?
And why do you thus believe? Surely
the "leaven" is working; and although it
seems to one anxiously waiting, long
time yet in Gods own good time the whole
mass OF mankind will be brought to ac-
knowledge him and "crown him Lord of
all" r. S. OWEN.

self depended not on a mere idea, but
in its conditions. Simply to be had no
attractiveness.
Yet if it were granted that a lost
soul might prefer existence in suffering
to non-existence, this preference might
we'll be nothing more than the product
Of that fear for the unknown which
animates all intelligent beings; and
whether this were true or not, it did
not answer the great interrogation for
ever confronting the creation of any
being which should ultimately pass into
remediless loss. True, the creating
was not determining. True, every soul
had its own choice to make, and was
free to choose good or evil. But this
only answered the problem after Gre
alton. Prior to that, God might create
or not as be willed. Why not refrain
from creating any soul which he foresa,D
,oould eventually pass beyond the po,oer of
salvatioqa9 Only one answer seemed to
meet the question, that in the hidden
necessities of the divine nature creation
was compulsory. God must be infinitely
active as well as infinitely wise or holy.
To create may have been a necessity
springing from the divine character.
He would certainly create as perfectly
as might be consistent with the envi-
ronment5, the purpose and the will in
volved. This would result in free
moral agency we can conceive of no
more perfect specimen of intelligent
creative power.
These suggestions came up during
several conversations. He then went
into thorough and independent exam
ination of the Bible. Months were
thus consumed, and finally he wrote
out his conclusions in connected and
systematic form. From that manu-
script few paragraphs may be given
as illustrations. THESE illustrations
and further extracts will appear next
week.-ED.

In regard to the dedication services
at the Church of Our Father, Sunday
evening, and the success which at
tended the appeal for funds to pay the
cost of the improvements, the Inter-
Ocean, of::Monday morning, says: 'The
800 people who attended the dedica-
ton services of the Church of Our
Father, the Third Universalist Society,
gave and had as good an evidence of
practical religion last evening as one
can expect to find in this otherwise
practical and money-making age. \ y
The ladies' of the church had raised
$500, so there remained 81 200 more to
be raised. Itlooked rather like trial of
ones credulity to imagine that so few
people would raise that amount, es-
pecially as the first subscription was
but ST and the next So. Members from
st. Paul's Church came to the rescue.
others from the Church of the Redeemer
did nobly by giving quite literally.
After everybody had given his best
there was still some $500 to raise. The
Rev. ]. G. Adams, of st. Paul's Church,
gave 800 on behalf of Mr.. G. L. Hutch
inson. That left $500 to raise. 1t
looked like drawing blood out of a stone
to get it. But by means of variety of
exhortations to help and by various
methods of getting in dollar here and
another there, the entire amount was
raised. 1t was splendid work. One man
who had been instrumental in secur-
ing some $3.50, and who afterward |
subscribed a good amount for his wife
at home, and finally smaller one for
his infant daughter, capped the climax |
by offering to subscribe the dollar his |
wife gave him for his expenses if some |
one would lend him a dime to get back
to his home on the South side! 1t was
a splendid illustration of faith and |
charity and good will" |

For a time this revolution was indeed
complete, but the conclusions he then

OUR recent English visitor, Canon
Wilberforce, delivered temperance
address in New York, just previous to
leaving this country, in which he said
that, tin England we put our big brew
ers in the House of Commons instead of
putting them in jail as they do in
Maine.n If there are brewers and
breweries in Maine, after a generation
or more of temperance legislation, the
outlook would be indeed discouraging.
But the good Canon went off on this
occasion without being accurately
primed. There are no big brewers in
Maine to be jailed. 1t is false report.

1.-THE great question of probation
after DEATH" remarks the New York
Tribune, (which is now before the Con-
gregational churches, can only be set
tied, if it is ever settled at all, by a
council which will represent the mind
of Congregationalism on that point.
1t is useless to go to the existing creeds,
for the very question at issue is wheth-
er these creeds teach or imply the doc
trine of a second probation. 1t would
seem to an outside observer that the
Congregational churches must in some
formal way decide this point. This is
all the more easy, as from the Congre-
gational point of view creed is only a
consensus of human opinion, and so may
be modified from time to time"
